Smooth, Steady, and Smart (aka Dianne Lockhart from The Good Wife)

The last of the personalities is the person who really has it all. This person can shape-shift into one or more of the personas above but has a natural calm brilliance that makes for a strong adversary.

Smooth, Steady, and Smart spends the right amount of time preparing, knows all the points at play, and has done their homework on you. They are so confident of their work product that they ooze a legitimate calm like they are walking in a park. If you've done your homework, the two of you probably will engender immediate respect and sometimes even trust. This is the best of all worlds and truly leads to a win-win outcome. On the other hand, if you haven't done your homework, Smooth, Steady, and Smart will steamroll you while making you feel good about it. Later on that evening, you will feel differently as you commiserate with yourself over your favorite adult beverage.
